The Fist Plant is located in Kolhapur in Shiroli,
MIDC Industrial Area which is around 400 Kilometers
Southeast of Mumbai. This facility primarily
concentrates on the manufacture of Alfin Pistons
for Heavy Duty Diesel Engines for Power-Generation,
Light and Medium Commercial vehicles and Pistons
for Passenger Car Diesel Engines This Plant
produces annually around 800,000 Pistons.
This Plant 1 at Shiroli, houses
a modern Aluminium Foundry Plant for manufacture
of the Aluminium Alloy Castings which are produced
on dedicated Die Casting Machines tailor made
to suit the different varieties and sizes of
the Pistons.
The Piston Foundry is supplemented
by a well equipped Laboratory with Spectrometer
and image analyzer apart from other essential
Checking/Qualifying Instruments and Equipment
to provide clean and good Quality metal for
producing World class Aluminium Castings which
satisfy the Chemical/Mechanical and other metallurgical
properties essential for the Piston to withstand
the high temperature and pressure during its
operational tenure in the Engine.
The machining facility includes
special Purpose Machines and CNC Machines to
provide the desired OD Profile and Combustion
Bowl Geometries which are essential features
for the satisfactory performance of the New
generation eco-friendly engines.
The manufacturing facility
is complemented by sophisticated Quality Control
Systems and Equipment to ensure consistently
high Quality Pistons. |
